All this conspiracy stuff is kinda fun in the abstract, but when one ponders maybe it is true - Clapper, others seriously engaing SCOTUS; all the other machinations to at least hamstring Trump on totally false pretext, and that by high levels in the "intelligence" community - well, it's a much bigger deal when it's real.
None of the perps is going to go easy, and they do have armies embedded in the government apparatus. Messy, messy business.
And the press knew the truth all along ...
All they have are “armies of lawyers” ( no actual shooting armies yet!), a significant “war chest” for lawyers supplied by the usual suspects and a significant (still!)cadre of left wing federal judges to get favorable rulings from. This is bad enough and can keep things mucked up for a long time Maybe long enough to run the clock out on Trump. That’s the on-going threat!
To counter this Trump needs to keep running hides through the pipeline (He seems to be doing that!). Eventually the Mueller thing has to play out. If Manafort & Gunn can get their cases thrown out due Mueller malfeasance & incompetence this also strengthens Trump. If Trump got another Supreme Court vacancy and have a guaranteed majority he could go balls to the wall. Now if both the GOP leadership and voters (yes voters!) can avoid Ed Gillispes & Roy Moores as candidates and quit giving Rats victories they shouldn’t have we can lick this thing!
Well, if it provides any assurance, **everyone**, and I mean everyone in DC - down to the lowliest office assistant - knew what was going on. I mean, if nothing else, Snowden laid it all out there for everyone to see.
So, in the long litany of players with full knowledge of exactly what was going on, I of course include Trump. Now, this is where GE is driven crazy, but how far fetched is it that a white hat conspiracy actually recruited Trump to defeat the deep state enemy?
Once you get into the realm of what we now know, and combine it with logical speculation about what then logically follows, then it isn't such a big leap to start seeing a very long range, big picture indeed.
Trump - “Complicated business..”
